Abstract: A relay user equipment (UE) device transmits a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection status indicator indicating the RRC connection status of the relay UE device to a serving base station. The RRC connection status indicator may be used by a remote UE device to manage relay communication to the base station. In one example, a remote UE device in direct communication with the base station transmits a measurement report to the base station where the measurement report includes measurements only for relay UE devices reporting a RRC connected (RRC CONN) status. The base station manages direct to indirect communication switching at least partially based on the measurement report. In another example, a remote UE device manages relay reselection using a relay candidate prioritization at least partially based on the connection status of candidate relay UE devices.

Abstract: In a first aspect, a communication control method is used in a cellular communication system. The communication control method includes performing, by a donor node for each of a first user equipment and a second user equipment, configuration to establish a data radio bearer (DRB) between the first user equipment and the second user equipment. The communication control method includes establishing, by the first user equipment and the second user equipment, a first Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entity and a second PDCP entity, respectively, in response to receiving the configuration. The communication control method includes transmitting, by the first PDCP entity, data to the second PDCP entity without involving a User Plane Function (UPF).

Abstract: A user equipment comprises transceiver circuitry and processing circuitry operatively associated with the transceiver circuitry. The transceiver circuitry is configured to execute processes of receiving, from a network, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message including an instruction to transition to a specific state where an RRC connection of the user equipment is suspended, the RRC message including information indicating a radio resource for uplink transmission; and performing the uplink transmission using the radio resource when the user equipment is in the specific state. A method for a user equipment comprises receiving, from a network, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message including an instruction to transition to a specific state where an RRC connection of the user equipment is suspended, the RRC message including information indicating a radio resource for uplink transmission; and performing the uplink transmission using the radio resource when the user equipment is in the specific state.

Abstract: The devices, systems, and methods discussed herein involve abase station (e.g., gNB) that employs a broadcast technology such as the Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) to relay hidden-node information to the neighboring UE devices. In some examples, a base station receives at least one report based on data acquired by at least one non-communication sensor of a user equipment (UE) device. Based on the at least one report, the base station transmits a message to another UE device that results in the other UE device refraining from using communication resources that will interfere with transmissions by other UE devices.
